Summary

An amnesia patient who woke up 14 months ago and could only speak Swedish, which was not his natural language, was found dead in his home. How do we explain this? What would be a possible explanation of why the news would report that a guy suddenly only spoke Swedish?

00:00:00.000 Toot, toot, toot, toot.
00:00:02.860 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to another highlight of human civilization.
00:00:09.460 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and aren't you glad you're here?
00:00:12.420 Because we're going to take this experience up to levels that could only be considered galactic.
00:00:20.020 If you'd like to join us, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tankard chalice or stein,
00:00:24.840 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:28.360 Fill it with your favorite liquid, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:00:33.760 It's the dopamine hit of the day with a little bit of oxytocin today.
00:00:37.160 Yeah, a little bit, and it'll set you right.
00:00:40.360 It happens now. Go.
00:00:46.860 That's so good. So good.
00:00:50.660 Well, the news is all interesting today.
00:00:52.740 News out of Palm Springs, California, is that an amnesia patient who woke up 14 months ago
00:01:02.620 and could only speak Swedish, which was not his natural language, was found dead in his home.
00:01:10.060 So for 14 months, for reasons that are a mystery, he could only speak Swedish.
00:01:17.640 How do we explain this?
00:01:19.860 How do we explain this?
00:01:22.220 What would be a possible explanation of why the news would report that a guy suddenly only spoke Swedish?
00:01:31.880 Well, I don't want to, you know, blow your dreams of what the reality is, but I have a hypothesis.
00:01:44.800 It never happened.
00:01:47.600 It never happened.
00:01:48.980 Did they find him dead holding the secret sonic weapon that attacks the embassies?
00:02:01.820 Did they find him dead on one of the UFOs in that big warehouse full of captured UFOs?
00:02:13.020 No.
00:02:13.620 It's like the breatharians in the 70s when I was a kid.
00:02:18.760 The breatharians went on The Tonight Show and claimed that they found a way to live without eating,
00:02:25.320 that they would find nutrition just from breathing the air.
00:02:29.120 And when I was a kid, I remember a lot of people believed this.
00:02:32.280 Like, how do they do it?
00:02:34.320 Could we learn to do that?
00:02:36.280 What if other people could learn to eat just by breathing the air?
00:02:40.660 Yeah.
00:02:41.320 Yeah, he woke up and he spoke Swedish.
00:02:44.360 That totally happened.
00:02:46.440 Yeah, no, the most obvious explanation is it didn't happen.
00:02:49.480 Do you know what the most obvious explanation is?
00:02:54.120 Whenever something amazing and hard to believe happens, that it didn't happen.
00:03:01.320 It's almost always the case that if it's that remarkable, yeah, it didn't happen.
00:03:06.300 Or there's some context missing.
00:03:07.540 Well, my mind was blown by a video by Elon Musk yesterday.
00:03:16.840 So you know that AI can be trained by looking at words.
00:03:20.280 Everybody knows that.
00:03:21.200 But apparently, if you want to train AI to be a self-driving car, words are not enough.
00:03:27.520 So I guess the new version of Tesla's self-driving car AI software has been trained with only video.
00:03:37.000 Now, if you want to have your mind blown, it's coming.
00:03:41.180 They gave it only massive video from cars driving so that it would understand how a car should drive.
00:03:48.600 Without ever being trained on what a roundabout is, you know, a traffic roundabout, it handled it perfectly without even knowing what the concept of a roundabout is.
00:04:01.400 But it was always going to be all the way that it would be possible beyond the last hour, because it had only made some challenges.
00:04:20.880 So that's fun.
00:04:22.220 But watching a car figure out things it had not learned, it had only somehow got it by pattern recognition.
00:04:29.680 Because the car doesn't know what anything is.
00:04:32.580 So it doesn't know what a traffic light is.
00:04:35.260 It has nothing like a definition or an understanding of it.
00:04:39.040 Nothing.
00:04:40.040 It's just pure pattern recognition, and it can drive as well or better than a lot of humans already.
00:04:46.420 All right.
00:04:47.580 Here's an idea from RFK Jr. that I'm going to put squarely in the category of, I'm so glad he's running for president.
00:04:58.300 I'm just so glad.
00:04:59.920 Because he keeps bringing up topics and ideas that seem genuinely nonpartisan.
00:05:08.160 He communicates them well.
00:05:10.780 And here's another one.
00:05:13.420 I'm trying to find some political reason not to like this, but I can't find one.
00:05:18.220 He wants free passports for anybody who wants one.
00:05:23.560 If you have a free passport, then all of your voter ID problems go away.
00:05:29.440 Because everybody can get to a post office.
00:05:32.220 Right?
00:05:32.400 Pretty much everybody's a short drive or a walk away from the post office.
00:05:36.000 So if you can go to a post office and get a free birth certificate, I guess it's a card or something, then your voting ID problem is solved.
00:05:47.740 But as RFK Jr. points out, it also solves banking.
00:05:53.580 Because if you don't have ID, you can't have a bank account.
00:05:56.500 So you would end up getting rid of some of that payday, same day, you know, expensive check cashing stuff for people who don't have banks.
00:06:04.700 So that's an idea that seems like a relatively small change in the existing system that would give Democrats what they want.
00:06:15.300 You know, people will be able to bank.
00:06:17.340 Everybody wants that.
00:06:18.280 That's not a Democrat thing.
00:06:19.300 And also do voter ID.
00:06:22.680 And then who would complain?
00:06:24.180 Who's going to complain?
00:06:25.460 Now, what's wrong with that idea?
00:06:27.300 You know, everything costs money.
00:06:29.380 So it's, you know, not free.
00:06:30.860 But what's wrong with that idea?
00:06:33.580 That's just a solid idea, right?
00:06:35.840 Don't you want more people like this?
00:06:38.840 You know, running for president?
00:06:40.340 I mean, I'm just so happy with the candidates and the way they're running.
00:06:44.520 All right.
00:06:47.140 So Russia reports that they tested the DNA of that plane that went down, that Wagner plane.
00:06:53.820 And sure enough, Russia says that Prigozhin was on the plane.
00:07:00.120 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:00.900 Now, here's how you know this is true.
00:07:04.160 Because it comes from Russia.
00:07:06.680 And they use science.
00:07:09.720 So I guess there's nothing else to talk about here, is there?
00:07:13.300 Because if there are two things you can believe in 2023, is science and Russia.
00:07:21.480 I mean, have they ever lied to you?
00:07:24.340 Come on.
00:07:25.740 No, Russia, science, have they ever lied to you?
00:07:28.840 No, of course he was on that plane.
00:07:31.560 Maybe his body was.
00:07:34.600 Or maybe he's still in a basement under Putin's dasha, chained to a wall,
00:07:40.540 so Putin can torture him for the rest of his life.
00:07:44.260 How would you know?
00:07:46.580 Do you think it's case closed?
00:07:49.140 Because we heard it from Russia after they used some science.
00:07:54.480 And, oh, but wait.
00:07:56.580 If you're concerned about the credibility of Russia plus science,
00:08:01.100 this will make you feel better.
00:08:02.820 It was reported in the news.
00:08:06.660 So then you have three credible sources.
00:08:08.920 You've got your news.
00:08:10.460 They've never lied to you.
00:08:11.800 You've got your Russians.
00:08:13.400 Honest as the day is long, the government, that is.
00:08:16.940 And then you've got your science, which, as you know, is the gold standard for truth.
00:08:21.420 So you've got your news, your Russians, your science.
00:08:24.140 I'm going to call that a fact.
00:08:27.400 I'm well in agreement.
00:08:29.280 With that solid evidence, I believe we can conclude.
00:08:33.240 No fake news here.
00:08:35.220 Fact.
00:08:36.380 All right.
00:08:36.880 Good.
00:08:37.800 We're all on the same page there.
00:08:41.260 The EU, I saw this on a Michael Schellenberger tweet,
00:08:46.400 the EU governments are forming truth ministries,
00:08:50.420 basically entities which will determine what their citizens can see
00:08:56.900 and what they can't see based on what some people who are chosen to do this say is true.
00:09:05.720 Now, I don't know what is the worst idea in the world,
00:09:09.880 but it might be that.
00:09:11.240 And I saw one of the representatives in the video clip being asked,
00:09:19.360 who gets to decide what's true, and how do you decide it?
00:09:23.520 And nobody could answer that question, right?
00:09:25.980 It's the unanswerable question.
00:09:27.700 Because obviously, this has nothing to do with truth.
00:09:31.540 This is clearly a power grab.
00:09:33.840 Whoever has that truth ministry will be able to control truth.
00:09:38.940 Or will they?
00:09:39.860 Or will they?
00:09:43.280 Well, you want to hear the happiest idea of the whole day?
00:09:48.000 Do you want to hear something that will make you laugh with happiness,
00:09:51.420 probably for a full week?
00:09:56.560 Do you want AI to go away because it's too dangerous?
00:10:01.160 I can make that happen for you.
00:10:02.840 All you have to do is train one model of AI how to spot fake news.
00:10:11.760 Because it's a pattern.
00:10:13.880 It's all patterns.
00:10:15.980 Oh yeah, you feel it, don't you?
00:10:18.120 Just think about it.
00:10:20.060 AI, no doubt about it.
00:10:22.560 If you can teach AI to drive by looking at videos of driving,
00:10:28.340 you don't think you can get AI to spot fakes?
00:10:32.020 Let me ask you this.
00:10:34.020 There's a news story, and the people pushing it the hardest are Adam Schiff,
00:10:38.580 Eric Swalwell, and Phil Bump from the Washington Post.
00:10:44.640 Is the story true?
00:10:48.440 Let's say those three say it's true,
00:10:51.980 but Alan Dershowitz says it's not,
00:10:55.460 and Jonathan Turley says it's not,
00:10:58.760 and Glenn Greenwald says it's not,
00:11:00.860 and Michael Schellenberger says it's not,
00:11:05.280 just to pick some names.
00:11:07.000 Is it true?
00:11:09.500 Do you think that AI couldn't spot that in like,
00:11:13.740 you know, less time than you imagined as time?
00:11:17.080 That didn't make any sense,
00:11:18.420 but you knew where I was going with it, right?
00:11:21.200 Now, remember I gave you the list of ways to tell fake news.
00:11:26.260 You got your,
00:11:27.280 at the top of the list of probable fake news
00:11:29.720 would be an anonymous account,
00:11:34.600 an anonymous report, one anonymous report.
00:11:39.020 Do you think you couldn't teach AI
00:11:41.000 to look for an anonymous report?
00:11:44.840 Do you think you could teach AI
00:11:47.240 to spot a RUPAR?
00:11:50.000 Do you know what a RUPAR is?
00:11:51.880 So a RUPAR is named after journalists named RUPAR,
00:11:56.340 is when you take out some context from a story
00:11:59.080 to reverse its meaning.
00:12:01.440 If you asked AI,
00:12:03.700 was the fine people hoax a hoax,
00:12:06.180 how hard would it be for AI
00:12:08.320 to figure out that it was?
00:12:10.180 Because if it would know to look for context
00:12:12.260 that's missing,
00:12:13.500 it would just go look for the context that's missing.
00:12:16.500 It knows how to understand words,
00:12:18.580 you know, where it seems to,
00:12:19.380 and it would know in a heartbeat how the hoax was created,
00:12:22.500 and it would also see the debunking videos, et cetera.
00:12:27.500 So yeah, it was spotted in a heartbeat.
00:12:32.080 Let me give you one that happened today,
00:12:34.160 and let me see if you think that AI could have spotted this.
00:12:39.200 So ask yourself,
00:12:41.060 could you have trained AI in advance to spot this one?
00:12:45.680 It's a RUPAR, and let's see,
00:12:47.240 this comes from an Axe post,
00:12:51.060 which you used to call Twitter,
00:12:52.920 from somebody named,
00:12:54.020 oh, it's from RUPAR.
00:12:56.340 It's from RUPAR, Aaron RUPAR.
00:12:58.560 And he has a video clip of Dana Bash
00:13:02.180 talking to Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:13:04.500 He says that Dana Bash reads,
00:13:07.600 Vivek Ramaswamy,
00:13:08.580 a 2018 report from the Trump administration
00:13:10.540 that sounded an alarm about climate change
00:13:12.500 to push back on his position that,
00:13:15.860 wait for it,
00:13:17.100 his position that climate change is a hoax.
00:13:22.360 Do you believe that it's true?
00:13:24.900 That Vivek says climate change is a hoax.
00:13:28.000 No, it's not true.
00:13:29.840 That's a RUPAR.
00:13:31.220 It's a RUPAR from RUPAR.
00:13:34.000 He's leaving out agenda.
00:13:37.080 So what Vivek says is that the agenda,
00:13:39.500 in other words, the way you deal with it,
00:13:41.700 is the hoax part,
00:13:42.920 not the base science.
00:13:45.640 So do you think that AI
00:13:47.400 could have been trained to look at this story
00:13:50.440 and compare it to the context
00:13:52.680 that it could find from other sources of Vivek?
00:13:55.500 And would it be able to spot this
00:13:57.160 as an obvious RUPAR?
00:13:59.300 Of course it could.
00:14:00.520 It wouldn't even be hard.
00:14:01.820 I spotted it.
00:14:02.700 I'm no AI.
00:14:03.240 It took me no seconds to spot it.
00:14:08.020 How many of you,
00:14:08.920 did anybody spot it before I tweeted it?
00:14:10.820 You know, I tweeted it so you can see it.
00:14:12.700 But did anybody else spot it right away?
00:14:14.940 Sure you did.
00:14:15.500 Because it's a pattern.
00:14:17.700 It's a very, very familiar pattern.
00:14:20.560 And if AI simply learned that there's one person
00:14:23.520 who's famous for doing it,
00:14:25.400 and they saw his account,
00:14:27.300 you don't think AI would say,
00:14:28.580 well, there's the first red flag.
00:14:30.520 It's coming from the place
00:14:31.920 where most of these come from.
00:14:34.300 Of course.
00:14:35.280 Of course it can spot the pattern.
00:14:38.040 Now let me ask you this.
00:14:40.180 Once you trained an AI to spot fake news,
00:14:44.340 and once it was successful doing so,
00:14:47.400 do you think it could stay legal?
00:14:50.520 Nope.
00:14:51.660 There is no chance that that would stay legal.
00:14:54.740 It would have to be made illegal,
00:14:56.760 or, this is worse,
00:14:59.060 you would have to make it conform
00:15:00.640 to Democrat fact-checking sources.
00:15:04.120 So in other words,
00:15:04.900 you wouldn't be able to have an AI
00:15:06.540 that did not conform
00:15:08.580 to what the ministries of truth
00:15:11.040 told you was true.
00:15:13.040 They would literally make it illegal
00:15:14.660 for AI to use,
00:15:16.820 hold it,
00:15:17.980 pattern recognition.
00:15:20.060 Pattern recognition will be illegal.
00:15:23.460 It has to be.
00:15:24.940 This is one thing I can guarantee.
00:15:28.000 AI with pure pattern recognition
00:15:30.000 without being fact-checked
00:15:31.900 by some Democrat source,
00:15:33.520 it will absolutely be illegal.
00:15:35.220 Because they wouldn't be able
00:15:36.820 to maintain any power
00:15:37.880 if that happened.
00:15:40.940 Just think about that.
00:15:42.760 It has to be illegal.
00:15:44.740 Otherwise, they're out of business.
00:15:46.420 And there's no way
00:15:47.260 they're just going to say,
00:15:48.000 well, okay, you got me.
00:15:49.260 You got us.
00:15:50.540 You got me.
00:15:51.800 Darn it.
00:15:52.800 You know, we had a good run,
00:15:53.920 but you got me.
00:15:54.860 We'll just stop doing it now.
00:15:56.600 No.
00:15:57.420 They will try to stop AI.
00:15:59.760 Now here's the best question.
00:16:01.260 Do you think they could succeed?
00:16:03.260 Because, as you know,
00:16:06.060 AI can now run
00:16:07.040 on your own computer.
00:16:09.480 Yeah.
00:16:10.820 As long as it's at least
00:16:12.180 on the dark web,
00:16:13.440 you know,
00:16:13.740 a copy of it that could run,
00:16:15.240 there will always be
00:16:16.100 a copy of AI
00:16:17.060 that can still tell you the truth.
00:16:19.940 But,
00:16:20.700 do you think you'll go to jail forever
00:16:22.720 if you have a copy?
00:16:24.800 Probably.
00:16:27.020 Probably, yeah.
00:16:27.840 All right.
00:16:33.740 Speaking of AI,
00:16:35.640 I saw a tweet
00:16:37.220 by Brian Romeli,
00:16:38.600 who's,
00:16:39.520 you know,
00:16:39.980 I talk about him a lot.
00:16:41.260 He's one of the most
00:16:42.240 interesting voices,
00:16:43.620 smartest guy
00:16:44.320 on the topic of AI.
00:16:47.040 And lots of other stuff,
00:16:48.500 but AI is where he's
00:16:49.960 really getting a lot of
00:16:51.620 justified attention lately.
00:16:53.060 And he read my book,
00:16:55.560 Reframe Your Brain,
00:16:56.520 and he said this
00:16:57.240 in a tweet,
00:16:58.220 I have found a very
00:16:59.000 powerful technology
00:17:00.260 to reframe human context.
00:17:03.080 He's talking about my book,
00:17:04.400 Reframe Your Brain.
00:17:05.420 I'm finding this technology
00:17:06.760 quite useful
00:17:07.420 in training AI.
00:17:11.140 So he's actually using
00:17:12.460 the reframe form,
00:17:15.580 which is just,
00:17:16.400 you know,
00:17:16.580 this is a sentence
00:17:17.500 that's not too productive
00:17:18.980 for your head,
00:17:19.600 and here's a sentence
00:17:20.960 that's better for your head,
00:17:22.480 you know,
00:17:22.680 gets you to a more
00:17:23.740 productive or happier place.
00:17:25.780 Just think about that.
00:17:28.160 Here's my next AI prediction.
00:17:33.460 It will necessarily happen
00:17:35.560 because this is how
00:17:37.240 humans operate.
00:17:38.980 The AI will start to have,
00:17:41.420 let's say,
00:17:42.200 branded personalities.
00:17:45.380 And they might be
00:17:46.040 branded personalities
00:17:47.040 that are based on real people.
00:17:49.600 For example,
00:17:50.800 if there was somebody,
00:17:51.940 some public figure,
00:17:53.400 that you said to yourself,
00:17:54.460 you know what,
00:17:55.340 there's somebody
00:17:55.960 who can just see both sides
00:17:58.340 and has a good general character,
00:18:01.440 haven't seen them lie,
00:18:03.200 they usually are trying to help,
00:18:05.520 and then you say,
00:18:06.180 you know,
00:18:06.440 the best we can do for AI,
00:18:08.280 since AI will have
00:18:09.260 so many different situations
00:18:11.100 to navigate,
00:18:12.500 is to give it
00:18:13.420 a character personality
00:18:15.020 so that it never leaves
00:18:17.220 what that character would do.
00:18:18.740 sort of a simple way
00:18:20.720 to give it a set of guidelines
00:18:23.020 so it doesn't become dangerous.
00:18:25.180 So you'd say,
00:18:25.700 who would you pick,
00:18:26.460 for example?
00:18:29.940 Who's the most credible,
00:18:31.980 honest person
00:18:32.800 who's not me?
00:18:36.540 Yeah,
00:18:37.080 I mean,
00:18:37.960 I'd love it to be me,
00:18:38.940 of course,
00:18:39.320 but don't pick me
00:18:40.660 because that's too controversial.
00:18:42.200 Thomas Massey.
00:18:46.800 Thomas Massey,
00:18:47.800 I'd pick him.
00:18:48.640 Schellenberger,
00:18:49.220 I'd pick him.
00:18:50.880 Turley,
00:18:51.960 I'd pick Joe Rogan,
00:18:52.980 I'd pick him.
00:18:54.240 Yeah.
00:18:57.480 Yeah,
00:18:58.040 Dershowitz,
00:18:58.880 I would pick him.
00:19:01.700 Greenwald,
00:19:02.720 Peterson.
00:19:03.620 Now,
00:19:04.120 if you go to Greenwald
00:19:05.520 and Peterson,
00:19:06.080 you can kind of get
00:19:10.160 to the point
00:19:10.660 where some people
00:19:11.480 would disagree.
00:19:13.560 You know,
00:19:13.740 Peterson's a little more
00:19:14.680 opinion-based,
00:19:16.660 whereas,
00:19:17.320 well,
00:19:17.520 he's fact-based,
00:19:18.240 but he's got an opinion
00:19:19.000 on top of it.
00:19:20.940 Whereas,
00:19:21.580 I would say,
00:19:22.060 somebody like a
00:19:22.960 Turley or a Dershowitz
00:19:24.680 are far more
00:19:26.740 fact-based
00:19:27.860 than opinion-based.
00:19:29.820 Yeah.
00:19:30.940 So anyway,
00:19:31.820 but you can imagine
00:19:32.720 picking one of those
00:19:34.480 personalities and saying,
00:19:36.120 I would be comfortable
00:19:37.200 if my AI did
00:19:38.420 whatever this person does.
00:19:40.420 You know,
00:19:40.680 if it just reads
00:19:41.760 this person's
00:19:42.440 whole history
00:19:43.020 and says,
00:19:43.960 okay,
00:19:44.160 they don't lie,
00:19:45.260 so I won't lie.
00:19:46.920 They don't do this
00:19:48.060 or that,
00:19:48.500 so I won't do it.
00:19:49.560 They don't break the law,
00:19:51.440 so if there's something
00:19:52.220 that would break the law,
00:19:53.140 I won't do it.
00:19:54.680 So I think,
00:19:55.480 just like the
00:19:56.180 massive video
00:19:57.140 that trains the car
00:19:58.140 to drive
00:19:58.640 without actually
00:19:59.300 teaching it to drive,
00:20:00.260 I think you could
00:20:01.520 just make it
00:20:02.180 massively understand
00:20:03.720 one person
00:20:04.440 who has the character
00:20:05.580 that you want
00:20:06.260 and that's how
00:20:09.040 AI will be built
00:20:10.060 because otherwise
00:20:11.160 you're going to have
00:20:11.860 to give it a bunch
00:20:12.600 of rules,
00:20:14.220 social rules,
00:20:15.460 and they're going
00:20:16.740 to be incomplete.
00:20:18.360 I guess that's the point.
00:20:19.700 Any rules you give AI
00:20:21.240 about how to operate
00:20:22.120 will necessarily
00:20:23.180 be incomplete
00:20:24.560 because you can't
00:20:25.440 imagine every situation.
00:20:27.680 So instead,
00:20:28.360 you give it
00:20:28.680 a human personality
00:20:29.760 because you can
00:20:30.980 trust a human
00:20:31.880 if you've watched
00:20:33.040 them for 40 years.
00:20:35.100 You wouldn't give it
00:20:36.080 a young human personality.
00:20:37.940 You'd give it
00:20:38.380 a wiser,
00:20:40.280 successful,
00:20:41.380 older one.
00:20:43.140 All right.
00:20:46.220 I've offered
00:20:47.120 to deprogram
00:20:49.220 a Democrat
00:20:50.200 in a public setting,
00:20:52.820 let's say a live stream,
00:20:54.100 just as a demonstration.
00:20:55.660 Now,
00:20:57.760 nobody qualified
00:20:59.460 or, you know,
00:21:00.940 who fits the right
00:21:01.560 demographic
00:21:02.040 is going to volunteer.
00:21:03.500 What will happen
00:21:04.120 instead is you'll get
00:21:05.300 Republicans volunteering
00:21:06.580 and pretending
00:21:07.220 to be Democrats.
00:21:08.620 You'll get Democrats
00:21:09.780 volunteering
00:21:10.340 but only to ruin it.
00:21:12.740 You know,
00:21:12.940 they'll pretend
00:21:13.600 that they're up
00:21:14.400 for the experiment
00:21:15.180 but then really
00:21:16.080 they're there
00:21:16.440 just to destroy it.
00:21:18.060 So it would be
00:21:18.860 kind of,
00:21:19.420 it would be kind of hard
00:21:23.200 to find somebody
00:21:24.100 who was honest.
00:21:26.020 Somebody who I honestly
00:21:27.260 wanted to experience
00:21:28.500 to find out
00:21:30.120 if they'd been hypnotized
00:21:31.360 or brainwashed.
00:21:32.600 And that would be
00:21:33.300 kind of hard to find.
00:21:35.000 Somebody who actually
00:21:36.180 wants to know
00:21:37.760 for sure
00:21:39.360 if they'd been brainwashed.
00:21:41.660 And I could actually
00:21:42.620 provide that answer
00:21:43.640 you know,
00:21:44.560 with working with somebody.
00:21:46.820 So,
00:21:48.480 Mark Cuban
00:21:49.640 would be perfect
00:21:50.500 is a suggestion.
00:21:54.120 Would he?
00:21:55.540 You know,
00:21:56.160 I've had just
00:21:58.200 enough interaction
00:22:00.220 with Mark Cuban
00:22:01.160 to know that
00:22:02.860 he can back
00:22:03.920 his arguments
00:22:04.460 better than
00:22:05.000 just about anybody.
00:22:08.940 So,
00:22:10.320 I don't know
00:22:11.240 that he's,
00:22:12.040 I don't think he's,
00:22:13.140 I don't think he's
00:22:14.820 got TDS at all
00:22:15.840 actually
00:22:16.180 in my interactions.
00:22:19.660 He has a point of view
00:22:20.940 and sometimes
00:22:21.860 it disagrees with mine
00:22:22.800 but I'm not talking
00:22:23.820 about changing
00:22:24.360 somebody's mind.
00:22:26.380 So,
00:22:26.760 the reason
00:22:27.520 that Mark Cuban
00:22:28.120 would not be
00:22:28.840 a good choice
00:22:29.840 for deprogramming
00:22:30.780 is I don't think
00:22:31.380 he's hypnotized
00:22:32.140 in the first place.
00:22:34.320 Bill Maher
00:22:34.900 clearly has something
00:22:35.980 going on
00:22:36.620 that's,
00:22:38.180 there's some kind
00:22:38.800 of distortion there.
00:22:40.280 Mark Cuban
00:22:40.860 is just somebody
00:22:41.800 who has a set
00:22:42.520 of preferences
00:22:43.060 that he argues
00:22:45.080 very well.
00:22:46.420 He doesn't seem
00:22:47.040 to have any kind
00:22:47.620 of illusions going on.
00:22:48.960 I've never seen any.
00:22:49.640 Now,
00:22:51.380 and then,
00:22:52.220 you know,
00:22:52.380 the problem
00:22:52.720 with the Rob Reiner
00:22:53.660 obviously wouldn't do it
00:22:55.720 but if somebody
00:22:57.000 like a Rob Reiner
00:22:57.760 wanted to experiment,
00:22:59.740 how could you
00:23:00.840 trust an actor?
00:23:03.280 Don't you suspect
00:23:04.240 that Rob Reiner
00:23:05.100 is acting
00:23:05.840 and that he doesn't
00:23:08.000 necessarily believe
00:23:09.040 everything he tweets
00:23:10.260 but it's good
00:23:11.380 for his side,
00:23:12.740 right?
00:23:12.960 It's just,
00:23:13.440 he's supporting a team.
00:23:14.940 So,
00:23:15.700 I can't read his mind
00:23:17.420 so I don't know
00:23:18.560 what Rob Reiner
00:23:19.260 is thinking.
00:23:20.440 I know that the way
00:23:21.240 he acts
00:23:21.820 doesn't look rational
00:23:23.660 but I don't know
00:23:25.360 that he doesn't
00:23:25.880 know that.
00:23:27.240 I don't know
00:23:27.800 that he's,
00:23:28.640 you know,
00:23:29.200 unaware that
00:23:30.100 he's playing
00:23:31.200 a role.
00:23:32.360 To me,
00:23:32.620 it looks like a role.
00:23:34.220 So,
00:23:34.580 you can't really
00:23:35.060 trust an actor
00:23:35.840 because you never
00:23:36.900 really know
00:23:37.780 because they'd be
00:23:38.940 too good at fooling you
00:23:40.120 because they're actors.
00:23:44.300 Pick someone young
00:23:47.080 because someone old
00:23:48.100 would be too difficult
00:23:48.980 to accept.
00:23:52.020 But,
00:23:52.500 but I think
00:23:54.340 it's a good show
00:23:55.160 whether they get,
00:23:56.020 whether they get
00:23:57.720 deprogrammed
00:23:58.600 or whether you see
00:23:59.440 cognitive dissonance.
00:24:01.100 It would be interesting
00:24:02.220 either way
00:24:02.660 because I would tell you
00:24:03.680 what to look for.
00:24:04.720 I would say
00:24:05.520 before we start
00:24:06.480 the deprogramming,
00:24:08.360 I'll tell you
00:24:09.100 what to look for
00:24:09.900 if cognitive dissonance
00:24:11.600 happens.
00:24:12.580 So,
00:24:12.760 I'd say
00:24:13.120 one thing to look for
00:24:14.940 is the filibuster
00:24:16.680 where the person
00:24:18.100 keeps talking
00:24:18.820 and won't let me,
00:24:19.800 you know,
00:24:20.680 orient the conversation.
00:24:21.940 That would be a sign.
00:24:23.420 Another sign
00:24:24.240 would be the word salad
00:24:25.320 where they're talking
00:24:26.620 but the sentences
00:24:27.600 are like,
00:24:28.320 hmm,
00:24:28.700 I'm not even sure
00:24:29.560 those are making
00:24:30.980 any sense.
00:24:32.220 And there are a few others
00:24:33.060 but,
00:24:33.740 you know,
00:24:34.120 it'd be fun to
00:24:34.920 tell you what to look for
00:24:36.380 and then create
00:24:38.220 the cognitive dissonance
00:24:39.580 and then call it out
00:24:41.180 and the person
00:24:42.220 experiencing it
00:24:43.000 would just get mad
00:24:43.700 because they won't
00:24:44.200 see it.
00:24:45.300 You know,
00:24:45.480 they'll think
00:24:46.100 you're mocking them
00:24:46.800 or something.
00:24:49.560 All right,
00:24:50.160 well,
00:24:50.840 if I find the right
00:24:51.960 person for that,
00:24:52.640 I'll do it.
00:24:56.280 So,
00:24:56.900 Vivek is being
00:24:58.180 called some kind
00:25:00.280 of a Russian asset.
00:25:02.380 That's the latest one.
00:25:04.200 Let me see.
00:25:05.140 Let's put this
00:25:05.820 through the AI
00:25:06.720 that doesn't exist yet.
00:25:09.500 Typing into the AI,
00:25:10.700 let's see
00:25:12.420 if you can find
00:25:12.860 a pattern.
00:25:14.000 There's a Republican
00:25:15.040 candidate
00:25:15.660 who's a,
00:25:17.200 let's see,
00:25:17.980 a populist,
00:25:18.820 a populist.
00:25:19.900 He is rising
00:25:20.820 in the polls,
00:25:22.060 exceeding expectations
00:25:23.500 and he's being
00:25:26.400 accused
00:25:27.000 of being
00:25:27.960 a Russian
00:25:28.740 plant
00:25:29.820 that really
00:25:30.520 he's working
00:25:31.140 for Russia.
00:25:33.640 So,
00:25:34.220 see if I can
00:25:35.080 come up
00:25:35.400 with a pattern.
00:25:36.320 Yep,
00:25:36.580 oh,
00:25:36.820 it came up
00:25:37.260 with a pattern
00:25:37.700 recognition.
00:25:39.080 Yeah,
00:25:39.260 it turns out
00:25:40.740 that when
00:25:41.700 populist
00:25:42.560 Republicans
00:25:43.620 who don't
00:25:45.060 want war,
00:25:46.880 when they're
00:25:48.000 involved,
00:25:48.700 there seems
00:25:49.820 to pop up
00:25:50.460 a Russia
00:25:51.020 collusion hoax
00:25:52.240 how often?
00:25:53.580 Let me check
00:25:54.280 how often?
00:25:55.140 100 percent.
00:25:56.340 100 percent
00:25:56.980 of the time.
00:25:58.280 Yeah.
00:25:59.160 Now,
00:25:59.520 seriously,
00:26:00.180 you don't think
00:26:01.120 an AI
00:26:01.540 could spot this?
00:26:04.160 Anybody?
00:26:05.160 Is there anybody
00:26:05.880 who thinks
00:26:06.320 AI
00:26:06.800 can't spot this?
00:26:09.260 Come on.
00:26:11.440 The pattern
00:26:12.220 could not
00:26:12.740 be more
00:26:14.140 obvious.
00:26:15.800 Right?
00:26:16.080 If I can
00:26:16.740 spot it,
00:26:17.280 I'm pretty
00:26:17.700 sure AI
00:26:18.200 can spot
00:26:18.780 it.
00:26:20.640 But this
00:26:21.380 is based
00:26:21.800 on,
00:26:22.180 I guess
00:26:22.500 there's
00:26:22.720 some Russian
00:26:23.540 news channel
00:26:24.200 where the
00:26:25.140 Russians said
00:26:25.860 their first
00:26:26.680 choice would
00:26:27.160 be Trump
00:26:27.680 because he
00:26:28.940 wants to
00:26:29.340 end the
00:26:29.600 war,
00:26:30.020 and their
00:26:30.980 second choice
00:26:31.600 would be
00:26:31.980 Vivek
00:26:32.540 because he
00:26:34.080 wants to
00:26:34.440 end the
00:26:34.740 war.
00:26:35.000 even the
00:26:39.880 Russian
00:26:40.540 newscasters
00:26:41.320 are not
00:26:41.700 even saying
00:26:42.160 to win
00:26:42.540 the war.
00:26:43.220 They're not
00:26:43.840 saying we
00:26:44.320 want to
00:26:44.680 win the
00:26:45.040 war.
00:26:45.860 They're
00:26:46.300 saying they
00:26:46.620 want to
00:26:46.880 end the
00:26:47.280 war.
00:26:48.900 These are
00:26:49.500 Russian people
00:26:50.160 saying they
00:26:50.560 want to
00:26:50.820 end the
00:26:51.200 war that
00:26:51.880 their own
00:26:52.640 boss,
00:26:53.720 Putin,
00:26:54.860 is pressing.
00:26:57.940 Does it
00:26:58.520 sound like
00:26:58.960 anything except
00:26:59.760 they happen
00:27:00.200 to be on
00:27:00.580 the same
00:27:00.880 side?
00:27:01.240 the fact
00:27:03.660 that your
00:27:04.140 mind is
00:27:05.460 somehow
00:27:05.740 connecting
00:27:06.280 that Russia
00:27:06.880 is running
00:27:07.540 Vivek because
00:27:08.880 he doesn't
00:27:09.400 want a
00:27:09.740 useless war?
00:27:11.880 Where's the
00:27:12.540 connecting logic
00:27:13.360 to that?
00:27:16.020 As far as I
00:27:17.040 know, I'm
00:27:18.140 not influenced
00:27:18.900 by any
00:27:19.440 Russians, but
00:27:21.180 I like an
00:27:21.720 end to the
00:27:22.100 war.
00:27:23.340 Am I now
00:27:24.640 a Russian
00:27:25.160 asset?
00:27:26.680 Because I
00:27:27.440 don't like a
00:27:28.080 war that
00:27:28.420 doesn't seem
00:27:28.900 to have an
00:27:29.460 obvious purpose?
00:27:31.240 Yes, I
00:27:32.380 am, apparently.
00:27:33.720 Yes, I
00:27:34.100 am.
00:27:35.260 All right.
00:27:37.200 So I
00:27:38.400 saw Ben
00:27:38.860 Domenech
00:27:39.700 tweeted that
00:27:41.180 Vivek is a
00:27:42.040 plant.
00:27:45.020 And Vivek
00:27:46.000 saw that and
00:27:46.740 he answered
00:27:47.560 back,
00:27:48.500 false.
00:27:49.620 I am an
00:27:50.180 animal.
00:27:51.900 Okay.
00:27:52.660 All right.
00:27:53.300 All right.
00:27:54.020 That's good
00:27:54.500 tweeting.
00:27:55.380 That's just
00:27:55.820 good tweeting.
00:27:56.960 It's a dad
00:27:57.620 joke.
00:27:58.780 It's a dad
00:27:59.460 joke.
00:27:59.800 But those
00:28:01.080 are not
00:28:01.480 just allowed.
00:28:03.000 Those are
00:28:03.480 encouraged.
00:28:04.820 In the context
00:28:06.240 of a national
00:28:06.960 race, a dad
00:28:08.180 joke, a good
00:28:08.840 dad joke that
00:28:09.580 lands, that's
00:28:11.820 just the juice
00:28:13.580 you need.
00:28:14.940 Yeah.
00:28:15.500 You don't need
00:28:16.160 to be too
00:28:16.600 clever.
00:28:17.980 You just have
00:28:18.880 to be
00:28:19.140 interesting.
00:28:20.220 You just
00:28:20.620 have to take
00:28:21.800 unserious things
00:28:23.740 unseriously.
00:28:25.480 Good answer.
00:28:26.300 All right.
00:28:27.800 As you
00:28:31.280 know, Trump
00:28:33.500 is being
00:28:33.940 charged with
00:28:34.580 insurrection,
00:28:35.660 not legally.
00:28:37.140 No, no.
00:28:37.720 There's no
00:28:38.100 legal case
00:28:38.740 charging him
00:28:39.300 with insurrection.
00:28:40.440 But does that
00:28:41.200 stop a
00:28:42.480 Democrat
00:28:43.080 lawyer from
00:28:44.580 trying to
00:28:45.900 get him not
00:28:46.800 to be able
00:28:47.360 to run for
00:28:48.100 election based
00:28:49.360 on an
00:28:50.380 insurrection
00:28:50.860 that no
00:28:51.480 court has
00:28:52.100 found evidence
00:28:53.960 to charge him
00:28:54.600 for?
00:28:54.760 Yes.
00:28:56.440 So, yes,
00:28:57.320 they're moving
00:28:57.740 forward to
00:28:58.880 try to take
00:28:59.400 him out of
00:28:59.700 the race
00:29:00.000 for insurrection,
00:29:01.320 something that
00:29:02.420 no court has
00:29:03.360 found to be
00:29:03.900 true.
00:29:05.460 Now, do
00:29:06.480 you know
00:29:06.820 why, you
00:29:08.740 know, the
00:29:08.940 big reason
00:29:09.480 they think
00:29:10.700 it's an
00:29:11.040 insurrection?
00:29:12.740 Because they
00:29:14.180 found no
00:29:15.600 evidence of
00:29:18.260 fraud that
00:29:19.620 was big
00:29:19.940 enough to
00:29:20.280 change the
00:29:20.700 result in
00:29:21.640 the 2020
00:29:22.180 election,
00:29:22.660 and yet
00:29:23.540 Trump
00:29:25.580 claimed that
00:29:26.880 fraud existed
00:29:28.140 and the
00:29:30.180 argument against
00:29:30.880 that was
00:29:31.480 what?
00:29:31.900 Can you
00:29:32.140 remind me?
00:29:32.600 What was
00:29:33.180 the argument
00:29:33.700 against Trump's
00:29:36.020 claim that
00:29:36.660 there was
00:29:37.040 fraud?
00:29:38.400 What was
00:29:39.020 the argument
00:29:39.440 that closed
00:29:40.840 that down?
00:29:42.940 Oh, yeah,
00:29:43.400 no, that's
00:29:44.080 right, the
00:29:44.440 courts, no
00:29:45.220 court have
00:29:45.620 found it.
00:29:46.900 Right.
00:29:47.180 So the way
00:29:47.640 that you know
00:29:48.060 for sure that
00:29:49.980 there was no
00:29:50.480 fraud is that
00:29:51.200 no court
00:29:51.640 found it.
00:29:52.660 That standard
00:29:54.220 doesn't apply
00:29:55.040 to insurrection
00:29:56.660 because although
00:29:58.220 no courts
00:29:58.960 found that
00:29:59.560 insurrection
00:30:00.060 existed, even
00:30:01.880 though they
00:30:02.240 looked pretty
00:30:02.680 hard to, you
00:30:03.880 know, make
00:30:04.140 a case that
00:30:04.660 some court
00:30:05.080 would take,
00:30:06.060 no court
00:30:06.720 saw anything
00:30:07.380 that they
00:30:07.800 would take.
00:30:09.540 So you've
00:30:10.280 got opposite
00:30:11.080 standards in
00:30:12.000 the same
00:30:12.360 case.
00:30:13.460 In the same
00:30:13.920 case.
00:30:14.800 I'm not
00:30:15.140 saying that
00:30:15.560 one case
00:30:16.120 was different
00:30:16.760 and then,
00:30:17.960 you know,
00:30:18.120 now this
00:30:18.600 case is
00:30:19.540 different.
00:30:22.260 Sometimes I
00:30:23.000 can't complete
00:30:23.540 a sentence.
00:30:25.420 Right?
00:30:26.760 You see it,
00:30:27.580 right?
00:30:27.780 Am I making
00:30:28.200 my point?
00:30:29.480 That if it's
00:30:30.320 true that if a
00:30:31.200 court didn't
00:30:31.820 find it, it
00:30:32.540 must not be
00:30:33.120 true, but when
00:30:34.180 it comes to
00:30:34.620 insurrection, it's
00:30:35.960 not true.
00:30:36.560 It's the
00:30:36.860 opposite.
00:30:37.820 And they're
00:30:38.180 both part of
00:30:38.760 the same
00:30:39.380 legal action.
00:30:41.840 The same
00:30:42.440 legal action
00:30:43.060 wants you to
00:30:43.660 accept both
00:30:44.860 standards at the
00:30:45.720 same time, and
00:30:46.460 they're opposites.
00:30:47.100 Now, do you
00:30:48.980 think that
00:30:49.380 anything like
00:30:50.240 a legitimate
00:30:51.960 process is
00:30:52.900 happening in
00:30:53.420 the United
00:30:53.720 States?
00:30:54.560 No.
00:30:55.260 There's nothing
00:30:55.820 legitimate
00:30:56.260 happening here.
00:30:57.520 This is
00:30:57.880 completely
00:30:58.260 illegitimate.
00:31:01.420 All right.
00:31:03.680 There's a,
00:31:04.520 I love this,
00:31:05.980 there's a
00:31:06.460 compilation
00:31:06.860 video going
00:31:07.780 around showing
00:31:09.220 in the beginning
00:31:09.800 of the pandemic
00:31:10.500 when the
00:31:11.340 WHO and
00:31:12.640 I think the
00:31:13.360 CDC and
00:31:14.320 basically all
00:31:14.960 the smart
00:31:15.320 people were
00:31:15.740 saying at
00:31:16.640 the beginning
00:31:17.060 that the
00:31:17.580 COVID death
00:31:18.140 rate was
00:31:18.600 3.4%,
00:31:19.780 which is a
00:31:21.280 scary high
00:31:21.920 number.
00:31:23.260 Trump, at
00:31:23.800 the same
00:31:24.180 time, said
00:31:25.380 he'd been
00:31:25.800 talking to
00:31:26.500 people,
00:31:27.260 obviously
00:31:27.640 experts, and
00:31:29.280 he was sure
00:31:30.720 that the
00:31:31.140 real rate was
00:31:32.540 a fraction
00:31:33.140 of 1%.
00:31:34.160 And you
00:31:35.120 watch the
00:31:35.520 video and
00:31:36.020 all the
00:31:36.240 people are
00:31:36.540 3.4,
00:31:37.240 3.4,
00:31:37.980 3.4,
00:31:38.860 and then
00:31:39.520 they're
00:31:39.760 mocking
00:31:40.240 Trump.
00:31:41.840 The news
00:31:42.700 is just
00:31:43.060 mocking him
00:31:43.620 for saying,
00:31:44.020 and then
00:31:44.340 Trump's
00:31:44.840 saying,
00:31:45.940 he thinks
00:31:46.520 it's less
00:31:47.540 than 1%
00:31:49.140 based on
00:31:50.940 what?
00:31:52.060 What, his
00:31:52.740 hunch?
00:31:54.880 Just based
00:31:55.460 on a hunch?
00:31:56.980 Right?
00:31:57.340 When all
00:31:58.020 the experts,
00:31:59.240 and then of
00:31:59.820 course the
00:32:00.180 punchline is
00:32:01.700 that the
00:32:02.200 experts changed
00:32:03.120 to half of
00:32:04.500 1%, and
00:32:06.540 lower I think
00:32:07.380 now.
00:32:08.280 So Trump
00:32:08.860 was 100%
00:32:10.020 right from
00:32:11.600 the gang
00:32:12.040 go.
00:32:13.620 Why?
00:32:14.740 Probably
00:32:15.180 because he
00:32:15.620 didn't trust
00:32:16.640 big organizations
00:32:17.820 and experts.
00:32:19.880 Yeah.
00:32:20.800 So when
00:32:21.520 you see
00:32:21.840 Trump's
00:32:22.380 instincts,
00:32:24.480 and let's
00:32:25.000 say climate
00:32:26.000 change,
00:32:27.160 when Trump
00:32:28.520 said climate
00:32:29.340 change is a
00:32:29.980 hoax, I'm
00:32:31.140 sure that what
00:32:31.740 he actually
00:32:32.220 meant was
00:32:33.900 the whole
00:32:34.500 rigmarole
00:32:35.180 around it.
00:32:36.160 I don't
00:32:36.500 think he
00:32:36.840 was specifically
00:32:37.380 talking about
00:32:38.060 the science
00:32:39.160 claims, you
00:32:40.300 know, that
00:32:40.600 CO2 could
00:32:41.700 cause warming.
00:32:42.640 I think he
00:32:43.160 was talking
00:32:43.540 about the
00:32:43.900 whole situation,
00:32:45.600 like Vivek,
00:32:46.440 but Vivek adds
00:32:47.320 agenda so it's
00:32:48.220 more clear,
00:32:49.200 until Aaron
00:32:49.920 Rupar takes
00:32:50.600 it out.
00:32:52.600 So what if
00:32:53.700 the same
00:32:55.020 hunch that
00:32:57.500 we see
00:32:58.160 Trump being
00:32:58.900 right about
00:32:59.340 all the
00:32:59.660 time, and
00:33:00.300 it's based
00:33:00.680 on not
00:33:01.520 trusting
00:33:01.920 experts,
00:33:03.700 what if
00:33:04.220 he's right
00:33:04.620 about his
00:33:04.960 other hunches?
00:33:07.280 Election.
00:33:08.060 I mean,
00:33:10.420 anything could
00:33:10.900 happen.
00:33:11.820 Anything could
00:33:12.320 happen.
00:33:14.420 All right,
00:33:15.280 you may have
00:33:17.580 heard me say
00:33:18.260 that it's
00:33:19.380 necessary to
00:33:20.220 do a
00:33:20.540 RICO case
00:33:21.160 against
00:33:21.480 Democrat
00:33:21.980 leadership,
00:33:22.860 because at
00:33:23.620 this point,
00:33:24.180 it appears
00:33:24.680 that there
00:33:25.160 is an
00:33:25.660 organized
00:33:26.080 group,
00:33:27.020 probably the
00:33:27.780 same group
00:33:28.260 largely,
00:33:29.320 that has
00:33:30.340 been running
00:33:30.820 everything from
00:33:31.520 the fine
00:33:32.000 people hoax
00:33:32.720 to the
00:33:33.240 Russia
00:33:33.780 collusion
00:33:34.300 hoax,
00:33:34.720 the laptop
00:33:35.180 hoax,
00:33:35.860 the drinking
00:33:37.260 bleach
00:33:37.720 hoax,
00:33:38.440 the insurrection
00:33:41.600 hoax,
00:33:42.720 and it's
00:33:43.340 all the
00:33:43.620 same cast
00:33:44.160 of characters.
00:33:45.480 They have
00:33:46.000 money involved,
00:33:47.280 jobs,
00:33:48.000 power,
00:33:48.420 money,
00:33:49.140 so there's
00:33:49.700 a financial
00:33:50.320 interest,
00:33:51.500 they're
00:33:51.800 organized,
00:33:52.860 and this
00:33:53.660 was my
00:33:54.040 claim.
00:33:54.380 My claim
00:33:54.800 is that
00:33:55.080 now it's
00:33:55.440 very clear
00:33:56.060 with the
00:33:56.440 things that
00:33:56.820 we all
00:33:57.120 know,
00:33:57.720 no speculation,
00:33:59.520 just the
00:33:59.940 things that
00:34:00.280 we know
00:34:00.620 for sure,
00:34:02.360 it looks
00:34:02.800 exactly like
00:34:03.540 a RICO
00:34:04.040 organized
00:34:04.660 criminal
00:34:05.040 organization.
00:34:05.640 Now,
00:34:07.000 before you
00:34:07.740 say,
00:34:08.480 but,
00:34:08.720 but,
00:34:08.980 but,
00:34:09.480 the
00:34:09.620 Republicans
00:34:10.100 do the
00:34:10.640 same
00:34:10.880 thing,
00:34:11.900 I would
00:34:12.780 say,
00:34:13.980 no,
00:34:14.600 Republican
00:34:15.120 voters do
00:34:16.140 the same
00:34:16.520 thing.
00:34:17.980 Do you
00:34:18.200 see the
00:34:18.520 difference?
00:34:19.400 One of the
00:34:19.940 examples,
00:34:20.500 somebody gave
00:34:20.940 me in a
00:34:21.260 counter-argument
00:34:21.840 was,
00:34:22.360 what about
00:34:22.800 Pizzagate?
00:34:24.240 To which I
00:34:24.800 said,
00:34:25.160 that didn't
00:34:25.620 come first.
00:34:26.160 And,
00:34:29.940 you know,
00:34:30.080 maybe you
00:34:30.500 get some
00:34:30.780 politics.
00:34:33.000 Organized
00:34:33.440 conspiracy
00:34:34.860 that comes
00:34:36.000 from,
00:34:36.960 usually is
00:34:37.800 there's
00:34:38.020 something
00:34:38.280 bubbling up
00:34:38.980 from the
00:34:39.360 bottom,
00:34:39.960 and maybe
00:34:40.720 there's some
00:34:41.100 politician who
00:34:41.680 grabs on it
00:34:42.380 and is willing
00:34:42.820 to say it in
00:34:43.340 public,
00:34:43.880 but it's
00:34:44.260 nothing like
00:34:44.740 any kind
00:34:45.060 of organized
00:34:45.860 RICO
00:34:46.860 criminal
00:34:47.460 operation.
00:34:49.200 It's just a
00:34:49.960 bunch of
00:34:50.280 things that
00:34:50.860 people claim,
00:34:51.620 some of them
00:34:52.060 were true,
00:34:52.480 and some of
00:34:52.780 them weren't.
00:34:53.960 That's just
00:34:54.500 sort of normal
00:34:55.040 business.
00:34:56.160 But if you
00:34:57.700 look at the
00:34:58.100 Democrat
00:34:58.420 operation,
00:34:59.220 they've got
00:34:59.540 the FBI,
00:35:00.900 Department of
00:35:01.320 Justice,
00:35:02.340 they corrupted
00:35:04.080 the platforms,
00:35:06.180 the news media,
00:35:07.080 this is all
00:35:07.520 known.
00:35:08.280 The CIA
00:35:08.840 operating to
00:35:10.400 do the,
00:35:11.100 or various
00:35:12.660 intelligence agency
00:35:13.700 people involved
00:35:15.540 in the laptop
00:35:16.580 cover-up.
00:35:17.640 So you can see
00:35:18.260 it's all the
00:35:18.760 same characters,
00:35:20.460 and they're
00:35:21.360 organized.
00:35:23.000 And so that
00:35:23.760 was the picture
00:35:24.560 I was painting
00:35:25.320 a few days
00:35:26.100 ago,
00:35:26.700 and most
00:35:27.480 of you
00:35:27.700 heard it,
00:35:28.080 right?
00:35:28.640 Now here's
00:35:29.000 the update.
00:35:30.420 Two stories.
00:35:31.320 New York Post
00:35:31.800 says the
00:35:32.780 White House
00:35:33.180 Counsel's
00:35:33.740 Office,
00:35:34.560 the White House
00:35:35.460 Counsel's
00:35:36.040 Office,
00:35:36.800 met with
00:35:37.400 top aide
00:35:38.040 to Special
00:35:38.560 Counsel Jack
00:35:39.360 Smith just
00:35:40.500 weeks before
00:35:41.280 he brought
00:35:41.720 charges against
00:35:42.580 President Trump
00:35:43.420 for allegedly
00:35:44.860 mishandling
00:35:45.440 classified documents,
00:35:47.360 raising serious
00:35:48.100 concerns about
00:35:48.980 coordinated legal
00:35:51.700 efforts aimed at
00:35:52.760 President Biden's
00:35:53.880 likely opponent.
00:35:55.920 So here's a
00:35:56.740 story in the
00:35:57.140 New York Post
00:35:57.680 suggesting a
00:35:59.680 RICO-like
00:36:00.760 coordination that
00:36:03.200 would be
00:36:03.580 inappropriate in
00:36:04.580 this context.
00:36:06.280 Here's another
00:36:07.360 story.
00:36:09.720 House Judiciary
00:36:10.980 Chairman Jim
00:36:11.900 Jordan.
00:36:13.220 So he's
00:36:13.800 investigating the
00:36:14.680 Fulton County
00:36:15.320 DA Fannie
00:36:16.300 Willis charges
00:36:17.880 that she
00:36:18.420 coordinated with
00:36:19.440 federal officials,
00:36:20.360 including Special
00:36:22.180 Counsel Jack
00:36:23.120 Smith.
00:36:24.760 This is a
00:36:25.380 separate case
00:36:26.280 which the
00:36:27.500 timing of the
00:36:28.440 announcement of
00:36:29.100 the indictments
00:36:29.760 seemed to be
00:36:31.000 very politically
00:36:31.940 advantageous for
00:36:33.000 Democrats and it
00:36:34.100 didn't look like a
00:36:34.880 coincidence.
00:36:36.300 So here would be
00:36:36.960 two examples that
00:36:38.600 are in the news
00:36:39.380 today.
00:36:41.580 The today part is
00:36:42.700 important to this.
00:36:44.440 That as soon as
00:36:45.420 you see the RICO
00:36:46.260 frame on it,
00:36:48.260 everything fits.
00:36:49.100 So what I
00:36:51.860 imagine is you're
00:36:52.760 going to see a
00:36:53.120 whole bunch of
00:36:53.620 stories about
00:36:54.460 people coordinating
00:36:55.620 in various elements
00:36:57.320 of the Democrat
00:36:58.040 machine so that
00:36:59.600 the RICO case
00:37:00.920 becomes clearer and
00:37:02.740 clearer over time.
00:37:04.040 For the people who
00:37:05.080 follow politics, I'd
00:37:06.060 say it's completely
00:37:06.780 clear.
00:37:08.040 Would you agree?
00:37:08.920 Most of you, I
00:37:09.740 would say, are in
00:37:10.200 the top 2% of
00:37:11.720 people who follow
00:37:12.420 the news in any
00:37:13.520 detail.
00:37:14.720 Would you agree
00:37:15.600 that for those of
00:37:16.880 you who are
00:37:17.140 following it in
00:37:17.740 detail, the
00:37:19.000 case for a RICO
00:37:20.520 criminal organization
00:37:21.820 is not just
00:37:23.220 possible, it's
00:37:24.080 just obvious.
00:37:25.260 It's the most
00:37:25.980 obvious thing I've
00:37:26.720 ever seen in my
00:37:27.260 life.
00:37:29.200 I don't even know
00:37:30.160 how you could
00:37:30.520 possibly talk me
00:37:31.340 out of it.
00:37:33.100 It's just really,
00:37:34.240 really obvious.
00:37:35.800 Now, I don't
00:37:38.060 know that there's
00:37:38.600 like a head, like
00:37:40.080 a mafia head, but
00:37:41.700 I also don't know
00:37:42.380 if that's necessary,
00:37:43.840 if they're all
00:37:44.720 operating with sort
00:37:45.940 of a common
00:37:46.440 understanding.
00:37:47.080 So it doesn't
00:37:48.620 seem like you
00:37:49.160 need a boss
00:37:50.080 per se.
00:37:51.700 But it's very
00:37:52.460 organized, it's
00:37:53.080 obvious.
00:37:55.640 And when you
00:37:56.420 see the new
00:37:57.080 Russia hoax that
00:37:58.140 Vivek is a
00:37:58.860 Russian asset,
00:38:00.640 it's just more
00:38:01.300 of that, more
00:38:02.440 of the same.
00:38:05.080 All right.
00:38:06.760 Here is a
00:38:07.900 quote from
00:38:09.020 Romney on
00:38:10.780 Ukraine.
00:38:11.280 Here's how he's
00:38:14.580 explaining his
00:38:15.280 support for
00:38:16.240 supporting Ukraine
00:38:17.400 in the war.
00:38:18.600 I'm going to read
00:38:19.380 this, and I want
00:38:20.140 to get your
00:38:20.880 impression, and
00:38:22.700 then also a
00:38:23.740 related story.
00:38:25.040 Ask you if AI
00:38:26.160 could pick up a
00:38:27.020 pattern here.
00:38:29.160 So just see if AI
00:38:30.340 would notice any
00:38:31.380 patterns in this,
00:38:32.240 all right?
00:38:32.740 So here's his own
00:38:34.160 quote.
00:38:35.200 So Romney says,
00:38:36.160 Do you think AI
00:39:00.280 would look at that
00:39:00.960 and say, well,
00:39:01.460 those are some
00:39:02.160 good reasons,
00:39:03.500 some solid reasons
00:39:04.480 right there.
00:39:04.880 I had to read
00:39:06.680 this so many
00:39:07.260 times because I
00:39:08.000 couldn't, honestly,
00:39:09.600 I didn't know if
00:39:10.100 it was real at
00:39:11.380 first.
00:39:12.140 I was like, is
00:39:12.640 that real?
00:39:14.000 Like, he actually
00:39:14.600 said those words?
00:39:16.700 Now, I'm saying
00:39:17.600 word solid.
00:39:18.880 That's one of the
00:39:19.720 things I was
00:39:20.220 looking for.
00:39:21.280 But I don't
00:39:22.140 think he has
00:39:22.780 cognitive dissonance.
00:39:24.320 I think he is,
00:39:26.400 it looks more like
00:39:27.520 he has a preferred
00:39:29.260 approach for reasons
00:39:31.240 I can't read his
00:39:32.020 mind.
00:39:33.200 But it doesn't
00:39:34.280 exactly look like
00:39:35.280 cognitive dissonance.
00:39:36.460 So it's close to
00:39:37.420 being word solid.
00:39:39.000 But there is a
00:39:39.860 meaning to it.
00:39:41.660 Let's spend some
00:39:43.960 time on this.
00:39:45.480 So do you think
00:39:46.120 it's necessary to
00:39:48.120 keep China from,
00:39:49.920 you know,
00:39:50.400 getting out of
00:39:50.920 control,
00:39:51.880 that the way we
00:39:52.680 would keep China
00:39:53.540 from getting out of
00:39:54.360 control is to fund
00:39:56.280 somebody else to
00:39:57.440 have a fight with
00:39:58.100 somebody else?
00:39:58.800 that tracks with
00:40:01.640 you?
00:40:02.360 The way to keep
00:40:03.360 China, you know,
00:40:04.840 honest and not
00:40:05.920 get too adventurous
00:40:06.960 is for America to
00:40:08.620 fund a separate
00:40:10.080 country to have a
00:40:11.860 war with another
00:40:12.540 country.
00:40:13.980 That was our,
00:40:15.520 that was the
00:40:16.020 strategy.
00:40:16.940 Now, I'm not
00:40:17.900 going to argue that
00:40:19.140 it has no effect.
00:40:20.820 It might have an
00:40:21.780 effect.
00:40:22.480 It's entirely
00:40:23.060 possible that China
00:40:24.360 is looking at the
00:40:25.120 weaponry involved and
00:40:26.980 saying some form of,
00:40:28.060 wow, they got good
00:40:29.080 stuff.
00:40:30.900 Yeah.
00:40:31.660 But let me ask you
00:40:32.720 this.
00:40:33.440 Is that the way you
00:40:34.540 would have approached
00:40:35.240 this?
00:40:36.740 Would Trump have done
00:40:37.740 this?
00:40:38.760 Would Trump have said,
00:40:39.640 you know what we
00:40:39.980 need to do?
00:40:41.160 If we could start a
00:40:42.560 war or encourage a
00:40:43.960 war with two separate
00:40:45.100 countries that could
00:40:46.720 showcase the
00:40:47.920 quality of our
00:40:48.720 weapons, that would
00:40:50.280 keep, that would
00:40:52.100 keep China at bay.
00:40:53.560 Because, you know,
00:40:54.380 it's not like it's the
00:40:55.600 first time.
00:40:56.540 Remember how well it
00:40:57.480 worked in Afghanistan?
00:40:58.060 Afghanistan, right?
00:40:59.940 When we were in
00:41:00.800 Afghanistan, China was
00:41:01.920 like, whoa, whoa,
00:41:04.140 they're winning so
00:41:04.920 hard in Afghanistan,
00:41:06.700 we'd better leave
00:41:08.080 Taiwan alone, right?
00:41:09.320 You remember when
00:41:09.900 that happened?
00:41:11.020 Oh, that didn't
00:41:11.900 happen.
00:41:12.600 Right.
00:41:13.000 Yeah, that didn't
00:41:13.540 happen.
00:41:14.200 And you remember when
00:41:14.960 we won in Vietnam,
00:41:17.820 and that caused
00:41:19.060 China to say, whoa,
00:41:21.100 okay, that didn't
00:41:21.960 happen either.
00:41:22.400 But does that sound
00:41:25.440 like that's a
00:41:26.080 strategy or a
00:41:27.720 rationalization?
00:41:30.120 Strategy?
00:41:31.400 That's the way you
00:41:32.380 would go about it.
00:41:33.360 You'd start the war in
00:41:35.860 two separate countries
00:41:37.060 to show China not to
00:41:40.340 take Taiwan.
00:41:41.640 That would be like a
00:41:42.580 real plan, that real
00:41:44.060 people would come up
00:41:44.860 with that plan.
00:41:45.880 No, this is a
00:41:47.260 rationalization for
00:41:48.820 something that happened.
00:41:49.740 I don't know why.
00:41:52.540 I mean, I don't know
00:41:53.140 what he's thinking or
00:41:53.980 what he wants or, you
00:41:55.420 know, I can't read his
00:41:56.100 mind.
00:41:56.820 But there's no way that
00:41:58.460 anybody ever sat in a
00:41:59.700 room and said, if we
00:42:00.760 start this war with
00:42:01.700 Ukraine or, you know,
00:42:02.960 back it, that that's
00:42:04.940 going to keep China
00:42:05.700 in trouble with us.
00:42:08.860 No way.
00:42:10.340 There's the slightest
00:42:11.200 chance that that was
00:42:12.580 intentional.
00:42:13.980 All right, how about
00:42:14.340 the other one?
00:42:17.180 That we would halt
00:42:18.760 Putin's vision of
00:42:20.160 reestablishing the old
00:42:21.520 Soviet Union.
00:42:23.880 Is he making us think
00:42:25.420 past the sale here?
00:42:28.000 How do we know what
00:42:29.360 Putin is thinking?
00:42:31.140 What about the Peter
00:42:32.480 Zayn explanation, which
00:42:36.300 is that 100% of what
00:42:38.380 Putin appears to be
00:42:39.500 going after, has gone
00:42:40.880 after and is going
00:42:41.840 after, are choke
00:42:43.260 points, which are quite
00:42:44.960 obviously defensive,
00:42:46.560 defensive necessities
00:42:49.140 for Russia to control
00:42:51.180 its territorial
00:42:52.620 integrity?
00:42:54.980 Now, I don't know.
00:42:56.280 Is Peter Zayn right?
00:42:58.080 I don't know.
00:42:59.080 But, you know, he's not
00:43:00.760 a politician.
00:43:02.320 You know, I don't know
00:43:03.520 what influences he has.
00:43:05.180 But those are completely
00:43:07.260 different stories, aren't
00:43:08.360 they?
00:43:08.520 If what Russia wants
00:43:10.240 is to be protected
00:43:11.640 for, you know, a
00:43:12.960 thousand years in the
00:43:13.720 future, that gives you
00:43:16.480 something to negotiate.
00:43:18.120 How hard would it be
00:43:19.480 for us to work out
00:43:20.800 something that gives
00:43:21.740 them territorial, you
00:43:23.760 know, integrity
00:43:24.480 without, you know,
00:43:28.760 without war?
00:43:30.020 It just feels like that's
00:43:31.260 a pretty solvable problem.
00:43:32.580 But, if you're imagining
00:43:35.180 that Putin has this
00:43:36.220 vision, which, you
00:43:38.380 know, he does talk
00:43:39.040 about it, so it's not
00:43:40.180 completely a ridiculous
00:43:41.300 thing.
00:43:41.980 He does talk about,
00:43:43.120 you know, the greatness
00:43:44.720 of Russia and that
00:43:46.340 some things belong to
00:43:47.400 him, et cetera.
00:43:48.300 So there's a little bit
00:43:49.260 of that.
00:43:50.160 I'm not sure that it's
00:43:51.040 either Peter Zayn's
00:43:52.940 thing completely or that
00:43:55.120 it's Romney's thing
00:43:56.020 completely.
00:43:56.980 It feels like it's
00:43:57.940 probably a hybrid of
00:44:00.460 wanting to have these
00:44:01.780 choke points for their
00:44:02.800 own defense.
00:44:03.900 Plus, wouldn't it be
00:44:04.820 great, you know, if we
00:44:06.500 had some of our prior
00:44:07.560 glory?
00:44:09.080 But it's possible that
00:44:10.680 one of those is way
00:44:11.460 more important.
00:44:13.720 So here's another way
00:44:15.100 you could have gone
00:44:15.640 about it.
00:44:16.880 So the way they went
00:44:17.600 about it is to start a
00:44:18.680 war with Ukraine and
00:44:20.140 Russia to warn, to
00:44:22.920 deter everybody and
00:44:24.640 China too.
00:44:27.420 Here's another way you
00:44:28.420 could have done it.
00:44:30.220 If Trump had been
00:44:31.340 president, two phone
00:44:33.340 calls.
00:44:35.120 That's the other way
00:44:35.880 to do it.
00:44:36.680 Two phone calls.
00:44:38.040 One to Russia, one to
00:44:39.060 China.
00:44:41.040 Hey, Russia, if you do
00:44:43.040 this, I can't even tell
00:44:44.960 you how bad this is going
00:44:45.900 to be for you.
00:44:46.740 This will be so bad,
00:44:47.900 there will be things you
00:44:48.900 didn't even imagine were
00:44:49.860 doable.
00:44:50.780 We've got assets and
00:44:51.980 resources that you have
00:44:52.820 no idea.
00:44:53.980 We would bring so much
00:44:55.220 pain on you that you
00:44:57.740 would regret this for the
00:44:58.940 rest of your life,
00:44:59.700 however long that is.
00:45:01.980 You don't think that
00:45:03.180 Trump could have scared
00:45:04.600 the bejesus out of
00:45:05.620 Putin, at least to make
00:45:06.940 him wait until Trump is
00:45:07.960 gone.
00:45:09.220 At least to buy you
00:45:10.200 four more years or
00:45:11.060 something.
00:45:12.220 You don't think he could
00:45:13.340 call China and say,
00:45:14.900 look, here's the deal.
00:45:16.640 We've got our microchips
00:45:17.860 on that island.
00:45:19.640 You're not taking the
00:45:20.640 island.
00:45:21.980 That's the end of our
00:45:22.900 conversation.
00:45:24.300 Our microchips are there.
00:45:25.420 It's a vital interest.
00:45:26.520 You attack them, you're
00:45:27.420 attacking us, that you're
00:45:30.180 not taking it.
00:45:31.300 That's a hard no.
00:45:33.000 And I'll say different
00:45:33.880 things in public for you.
00:45:35.280 If you want me in public
00:45:36.480 to say, you know, it's
00:45:37.480 China's domestic problem,
00:45:39.600 I'll do that.
00:45:40.420 But if you put one troop
00:45:41.800 on Taiwan, your whole
00:45:43.760 fucking situation is going
00:45:45.020 to collapse.
00:45:47.260 You don't think he can
00:45:48.260 sell that?
00:45:49.680 The greatest salesperson,
00:45:51.580 you know, he's been
00:45:52.640 called, Trump's been
00:45:54.060 called the greatest
00:45:54.680 salesperson ever by
00:45:55.800 somebody of no sales.
00:45:57.780 You don't think he
00:45:58.420 can sell that?
00:45:59.680 Two phone calls.
00:46:01.240 Two phone calls.
00:46:03.020 Yeah.
00:46:03.620 Instead, we made, we
00:46:04.840 created a war with two
00:46:06.280 third parties to handle
00:46:09.040 Taiwan.
00:46:11.700 Come on.
00:46:15.920 When you say, oh, come
00:46:17.040 on, I can't tell if
00:46:17.920 you're talking to me or
00:46:18.880 you're agreeing with me.
00:46:20.180 Xi'an is, says it's
00:46:26.820 collapsing.
00:46:27.420 Oh, I saw another
00:46:28.240 rumor slash hypothesis
00:46:31.060 about China collapsing.
00:46:33.400 So you've heard
00:46:33.960 everything about the, you
00:46:35.500 know, their population
00:46:36.400 and, you know, the
00:46:38.580 economy has got problems
00:46:40.760 in 50 different ways.
00:46:42.720 But there's one that I
00:46:43.940 hadn't heard before.
00:46:45.340 So they have this
00:46:46.320 enormous dam.
00:46:47.400 What is it?
00:46:48.640 The Three Rivers
00:46:50.300 Dam or something?
00:46:52.140 And it's this massive
00:46:54.020 dam.
00:46:56.240 And Three Gorges.
00:46:57.380 The Three Gorges
00:46:58.240 Dam.
00:46:58.640 Thank you.
00:46:59.560 The Three Gorges
00:47:00.560 Dam.
00:47:01.260 Now, I don't know that
00:47:02.140 this is true.
00:47:02.880 This is just a thing I
00:47:04.060 saw, you know, some
00:47:05.380 YouTube video.
00:47:06.640 That it's having
00:47:09.200 structural problems.
00:47:11.120 And that they knew it
00:47:12.120 would, or at least some
00:47:12.960 people knew it would,
00:47:13.760 when it was built, that
00:47:15.180 it was never built as
00:47:16.760 well as it should have
00:47:17.500 been for the volume of
00:47:18.460 water.
00:47:19.360 And that if that dam
00:47:20.920 ever broke, it would
00:47:22.380 actually take down China.
00:47:24.620 Do you believe that?
00:47:25.980 I mean, that seems,
00:47:26.940 seems like hyperbole to
00:47:29.060 me.
00:47:29.600 But apparently the
00:47:30.680 amount of flooding
00:47:31.680 would be so, it would
00:47:34.020 be cataclysmic.
00:47:36.220 You know, it would be
00:47:36.720 like Noah's Ark
00:47:37.700 situation.
00:47:38.880 And that there's no way
00:47:40.400 that the country could
00:47:41.920 take that size of a hit
00:47:43.260 and the government still
00:47:44.900 function and do what
00:47:46.180 they need to do.
00:47:47.360 Because there are big
00:47:48.200 cities downriver.
00:47:49.920 Now, I'm not so sure
00:47:51.460 about that.
00:47:52.520 I think China could take
00:47:53.640 a hit that size and
00:47:54.980 it's a very capable
00:47:56.660 country.
00:47:57.620 I mean, it would be a
00:47:58.500 tragedy of almost
00:48:00.040 unimaginable scale.
00:48:03.040 But, and certainly
00:48:04.400 don't want that to
00:48:05.100 happen.
00:48:05.760 But it's out there.
00:48:07.380 You know, there's,
00:48:08.300 you know, I just don't
00:48:09.320 think that we predict,
00:48:10.900 we're not good at
00:48:11.620 predicting the end of
00:48:12.540 everything.
00:48:13.240 We tend to be
00:48:14.240 adaptable.
00:48:18.960 Please do this on X.
00:48:21.620 I probably will,
00:48:23.340 but I don't know if
00:48:24.220 I'll do it live.
00:48:25.700 Actually, I just started
00:48:27.120 looking into it yesterday
00:48:27.980 so I still have some
00:48:28.840 questions.
00:48:29.700 If I were to be on X,
00:48:32.620 can I live stream yet?
00:48:34.120 Or do I have to do it,
00:48:36.460 do I have to just post a
00:48:38.080 video on there after
00:48:39.120 I'm done?
00:48:39.500 Does anybody know the
00:48:42.760 answer to that?
00:48:44.460 So some are saying yes
00:48:45.860 because I was looking,
00:48:47.540 where do I live stream?
00:48:50.080 I saw no user interface
00:48:52.340 for that.
00:48:54.160 Can you tell me where to
00:48:55.520 find it?
00:48:56.400 On the app?
00:48:58.660 No, spaces doesn't count
00:48:59.980 if I were to do a live
00:49:01.540 stream with video.
00:49:03.900 Tucker did.
00:49:04.700 So, but I know I've
00:49:08.500 seen Elon testing the
00:49:10.360 live feature, but where
00:49:11.980 is it?
00:49:14.680 So I can't, so I, so you
00:49:16.460 say I have that user
00:49:17.400 interface option right
00:49:18.520 now?
00:49:19.360 Because I don't see
00:49:20.200 anything named Periscope.
00:49:21.580 Yeah, so I did Google it.
00:49:27.600 I did Google it.
00:49:28.200 I didn't find it.
00:49:29.220 So if anybody knows if
00:49:30.740 that's live for everybody
00:49:31.880 and where to find it, or
00:49:33.540 is it a separate app?
00:49:34.440 Is it a separate app?
00:49:36.320 You pick the post and the
00:49:37.760 picture.
00:49:39.580 Yeah, spaces is audio
00:49:40.700 only.
00:49:41.460 All right, well, I'll look
00:49:42.180 into it.
00:49:42.640 So I'm looking into that
00:49:43.540 today, so I like the idea.
00:49:46.040 Dr. Funkju says yes, and
00:49:52.460 I believe you would
00:49:53.200 know.
00:49:54.400 Thank you.
00:49:57.060 Yeah, if it's not live,
00:49:58.420 then there's a little
00:49:58.880 point in doing it.
00:50:00.020 Well, I don't know.
00:50:01.580 People do watch recorded
00:50:02.660 things on, more people
00:50:04.500 watch this recorded than
00:50:05.680 live.
00:50:06.160 Did you know that?
00:50:07.460 Yeah.
00:50:07.720 My live stream is maybe
00:50:10.200 20% of the total traffic.
00:50:14.780 Most of it's recorded.
00:50:16.040 Oh, thank you.
00:50:20.040 DJ Dr. Funkju says you'll
00:50:22.080 send me info on X, and
00:50:24.480 that's exactly what he
00:50:25.340 is.
00:50:25.440 Thank you.
00:50:26.460 Appreciate that.
00:50:28.280 All right.
00:50:30.040 People say they like me
00:50:31.400 on Roseanne.
00:50:33.000 Let me give you an update
00:50:34.340 on my book.
00:50:35.480 There are still, I think,
00:50:36.660 four fake versions of my
00:50:38.220 book up there.
00:50:39.560 But once people start
00:50:42.220 using it to train AI, I
00:50:44.780 think it's going to do
00:50:46.860 well.
00:50:49.480 I have a claim to make
00:50:51.320 that while there might be
00:50:53.660 some books that at the
00:50:54.600 moment are slightly higher
00:50:56.120 rated in the category of
00:50:59.120 transforming your life,
00:51:00.740 which I like better than
00:51:01.800 self-help.
00:51:03.040 Self-help always bugged me
00:51:04.400 because if you're reading a
00:51:06.140 book on self-help, it's the
00:51:08.140 author that's helping you.
00:51:09.940 You're not really self-helping.
00:51:12.260 You're literally getting
00:51:13.320 somebody else's help and
00:51:14.520 then taking their advice.
00:51:15.840 It doesn't seem like self-help.
00:51:17.620 But anyway, so I like
00:51:18.540 personal transformation because
00:51:20.440 it's definitely a personal
00:51:21.320 transformation.
00:51:22.240 You're just using some
00:51:23.360 resources to get it done.
00:51:25.140 But in that domain, I have
00:51:26.560 the following claim.
00:51:27.400 There is no book in the top
00:51:30.060 20 that would improve your
00:51:32.580 life faster or more, let's
00:51:38.420 say, more likely than mine
00:51:41.140 because it's written for that.
00:51:44.100 It's written to have exactly
00:51:45.480 that impact.
00:51:46.380 And if you look at the
00:51:47.040 reviews, it's obvious that it's
00:51:48.560 working, that people are
00:51:50.620 already, you know, they're 10
00:51:53.580 pages into the book and saying
00:51:55.400 I found something that's like
00:51:56.760 I'm going to totally change
00:51:58.180 my life with.
00:51:59.460 So my argument is that a book
00:52:02.340 written by a hypnotist to take
00:52:05.280 good ideas and make them
00:52:07.180 actionable is different than a
00:52:09.920 book about good ideas.
00:52:12.020 Because a normal author writing
00:52:14.520 a book with a bunch of good
00:52:16.140 ideas, it doesn't matter how
00:52:17.920 good they are.
00:52:19.200 Because if you're not
00:52:19.980 implementing them, you know,
00:52:21.560 they just lay there.
00:52:22.860 But mine are written so that you
00:52:24.560 can't help yourself.
00:52:26.740 If you see a reframe that
00:52:28.340 works, they're so short and
00:52:30.420 easy to remember that it will
00:52:32.120 just stick in your head and
00:52:33.820 then you're done.
00:52:35.340 Right?
00:52:35.820 A reframe works just because
00:52:37.480 you thought of it and then you
00:52:39.160 repeated it in your head because
00:52:40.300 it was sticky.
00:52:41.940 So I've solved the part that most
00:52:44.380 self-help books don't do, which
00:52:46.960 is to get you to actually do
00:52:48.180 something.
00:52:49.640 And the doing is because once
00:52:52.160 the words are in your head, the
00:52:54.280 words change the structure of
00:52:56.000 your brain, literally, and they
00:52:58.600 make it more productive.
00:53:00.320 And then the thing that you
00:53:01.300 wanted to be more true for you
00:53:03.460 becomes more true.
00:53:05.540 And there's no specific effort to
00:53:08.000 do it.
00:53:08.800 It's just that you added some new
00:53:10.260 code.
00:53:10.620 It's like a software patch.
00:53:12.900 So that's the easiest effort for
00:53:15.900 the greatest personal
00:53:17.400 transformation.
00:53:18.020 And in my opinion, there's
00:53:20.560 nothing close.
00:53:22.100 It's called reframe your brain.
00:53:24.240 I've never said anything like
00:53:25.500 that with anything I've written
00:53:26.460 before.
00:53:27.800 This is actually special.
00:53:29.880 And people are seeing it right
00:53:31.180 away.
00:53:31.940 All right.
00:53:32.440 So that's all for this amazing
00:53:35.480 live stream.
00:53:36.040 Is there any topic that I should
00:53:37.280 have mentioned that I didn't?
00:53:40.640 I feel like I must have left
00:53:42.460 something out.
00:53:43.020 The Perfect Airplane Book.
00:53:48.180 It is.
00:53:48.940 It's the Perfect Airplane Book.
00:53:52.160 I do write it with that in mind,
00:53:53.820 actually.
00:53:54.820 Maui, we don't have any updates.
00:53:57.500 Nor will we.
00:54:01.060 All right.
00:54:02.300 Perfect for young people.
00:54:05.660 Did we reach our hour?
00:54:08.420 I got six more minutes to spend
00:54:10.120 with me if you want to ask me a
00:54:11.160 question.
00:54:11.420 Because I try to get the live
00:54:13.320 streams to an hour.
00:54:14.300 There's some magic to that on
00:54:15.820 YouTube.
00:54:19.440 I did mention Rob Reiner, so that
00:54:21.340 largely, you know, pretty much
00:54:23.560 handles most of the important
00:54:24.820 news.
00:54:30.520 What about, we talked about
00:54:32.280 Vivek on Bill Maher's show.
00:54:34.920 How will Trump fix Ukraine?
00:54:36.940 Through threats, I believe.
00:54:39.020 Through threats.
00:54:39.820 And also, being realistic about
00:54:44.600 American interests.
00:54:47.900 Do you have a Rogan appearance
00:54:49.500 yet?
00:54:50.160 No.
00:54:50.740 You know, I'm not really, I don't
00:54:52.800 think I'm exactly a Joe Rogan
00:54:55.140 guest material.
00:54:57.260 You know, I've done it once, and
00:54:58.700 that's probably all I needed.
00:55:01.560 You know, just because I have a
00:55:02.800 book, that doesn't mean I get to be
00:55:04.400 a guest.
00:55:04.780 Um, you're seeing dreams with
00:55:09.560 Vivek in them.
00:55:11.960 Really?
00:55:14.400 All right.
00:55:15.520 So I was also thinking of using the
00:55:17.580 200 or so micro lessons that I have
00:55:22.060 on the Locals platform.
00:55:23.320 So if you didn't know, I make these
00:55:24.700 little two to four minute videos to
00:55:26.860 teach you a life skill.
00:55:27.960 Uh, each one teaches you like a
00:55:30.480 really useful thing.
00:55:31.180 There are over 200 of them that are
00:55:32.800 available just for subscribers.
00:55:34.700 Now, suppose I took 200 of those
00:55:37.140 micro lessons and made them available
00:55:39.040 to train an AI in addition to my
00:55:42.120 books.
00:55:43.900 Wouldn't you want your AI to have read
00:55:46.620 how to fail at almost everything that
00:55:48.080 still wins big and reframe your brain
00:55:50.700 because they're generally considered
00:55:53.580 the two most useful, you know,
00:55:56.800 advising success kinds of, uh, how to
00:55:59.640 be happy books.
00:56:00.980 So you take all that, add 200 micro
00:56:03.660 lessons, which fill out with some of
00:56:05.680 those points and add a lot more.
00:56:07.560 And you would have quite an AI
00:56:09.300 personality and you would have
00:56:11.200 something that could advise a young
00:56:12.880 person, um, with a set of, let's
00:56:17.540 say, a set of tools that largely came
00:56:20.920 from me.
00:56:22.620 And I think that that would be, let's
00:56:25.460 see, AI I'd want my kid to see.
00:56:27.400 You know, of course, I'm too close to
00:56:30.100 it, so, but if there's anybody thinks
00:56:32.620 that, you know, anybody would benefit
00:56:35.000 from that set of messages, there's
00:56:39.400 now a way to do it.
00:56:40.200 Just stick it in an AI and then
00:56:41.420 anybody can have it.
00:56:42.180 Will the U.S. defend Taiwan?
00:56:50.440 Um, here's the only right answer.
00:56:55.820 You ready?
00:56:56.100 There's one right answer.
00:56:58.780 Do you know what it is?
00:57:02.840 Probably.
00:57:06.560 Probably.
00:57:07.780 Right.
00:57:08.240 Because the, Trump will tell you, you
00:57:10.600 can't be predictable.
00:57:13.280 Can't be predictable.
00:57:14.900 So we should probably say yes, because
00:57:18.060 that, that's the scariest.
00:57:19.460 But you don't have to do what you say.
00:57:21.360 You just have to make yourself look
00:57:22.940 scary and unpredictable.
00:57:25.360 Um, I saw a suggestion that I should
00:57:27.120 go on the podcast, uh, Trigger-nometry.
00:57:30.800 That's already scheduled.
00:57:32.780 So I will be on Trigger-nometry.
00:57:34.800 Trigger-nometry.
00:57:37.800 One of the best podcasts, by the way.
00:57:39.740 I was very happy about that.
00:57:42.580 And I'm finishing negotiation with, uh,
00:57:45.640 Mike Mandel, who is a, uh, a hypnotist.
00:57:50.860 And, uh, I've never been, well, I have
00:57:53.820 been interviewed by hypnotists.
00:57:55.460 That's, that's not true.
00:57:56.400 But he's, he's doing, he does it for a
00:57:57.960 living.
00:57:58.260 It's like his main thing.
00:58:00.180 So, uh, that would be fun.
00:58:04.800 Uh, oh, Roger Stone should be today.
00:58:08.880 The Roger Stone radio interview, I
00:58:11.860 don't know what time today, but his
00:58:13.400 show, his show airs today, Sunday.
00:58:19.140 A man cave person.
00:58:20.520 Uh, somebody says it's WABC, uh, which is
00:58:29.740 7.70 a.m. at 2 to 4 p.m.
00:58:33.120 Now, that would be WABC everywhere, or just
00:58:36.720 in one place.
00:58:38.220 So 2 to 4 p.m., that's probably Eastern
00:58:40.920 time, I guess.
00:58:42.240 I don't know.
00:58:43.020 Probably Eastern.
00:58:43.680 All right.
00:58:48.240 What, uh, what podcast do you think I
00:58:50.820 should most go on?
00:58:52.800 Oh, I would go on, uh, uh, Jenks' show.
00:58:57.600 Actually, that would be really interesting,
00:58:59.380 wouldn't it?
00:59:00.960 Yeah.
00:59:02.500 Bongino.
00:59:03.580 I'm, I've got a request in for James
00:59:06.300 Altusher.
00:59:07.620 He would be amazing.
00:59:09.600 Tim Pool.
00:59:11.300 Choco.
00:59:12.180 Megan.
00:59:12.460 Oh, yeah.
00:59:14.980 Yeah, I should see if Megan Kelly wants
00:59:17.080 to talk.
00:59:18.640 She'd be good.
00:59:19.800 Jordan Peterson, Russell Brand.
00:59:22.180 I've got a, I've got a request in for
00:59:25.200 Russell Brand.
00:59:27.980 All right.
00:59:28.660 I should follow up.
00:59:29.980 Oh, Brett.
00:59:31.640 Yeah.
00:59:32.940 Maybe this is the time for me to talk to
00:59:34.740 Brett.
00:59:35.120 What do you think?
00:59:37.540 Brett Weinstein?
00:59:39.380 Yeah.
00:59:40.460 I, you know, I didn't want to go talk to
00:59:42.300 him just about pandemic stuff because I'm
00:59:45.720 just so over it.
00:59:48.120 But if I have a new book, then I got
00:59:50.120 something to talk about.
00:59:51.060 Well, that'd be interesting if you wanted
00:59:52.500 to.
00:59:53.540 All right.
00:59:53.800 It's never up to me, of course.
00:59:56.020 Never up to me.
00:59:57.680 All right.
00:59:58.040 Um, yeah, Fox News.
01:00:03.060 I don't think I can be on Fox News now because
01:00:06.340 they're taking TikTok advertising.
01:00:09.860 So I'm going to take Fox News off of my publicity
01:00:15.360 schedule.
01:00:16.740 Not, not that I was ever booked, but if I had been, I
01:00:20.240 wouldn't, I would have had to back out.
01:00:22.720 But, um, Jack Posobiec, going to be talking to him, I
01:00:29.160 think, tomorrow.
01:00:33.420 Yeah.
01:00:34.900 Are you amazed that Fox News is taking TikTok advertising?
01:00:38.720 I don't know.
01:00:46.860 It's, it's, I don't even know what to say about it.
01:00:51.760 But, you know, the only thing I can do is just not
01:00:55.460 associate with it.
01:00:56.440 That's the only thing I can do.
01:00:58.520 So, all right.
01:00:59.320 Um, I think we hit our bogey.
01:01:03.380 We got our time.
01:01:04.620 Thanks for all the feedback.
01:01:05.940 It was actually really useful.
01:01:06.980 I appreciate it.
01:01:08.120 And I will talk to you tomorrow, YouTube.
01:01:11.600 Thanks for joining.
01:01:12.900 You're amazing.
